Silk and Velvet Scrap Grab Bag

Lots of silkand velvet for Embellishers or to decorate Art Quilts.  I love to use silk in my embellisher machine.  I did a quick square to show you some possibilities with the pieces in this grab bag.  Your bag will contain  larger pieces (up to 6x6 inches) and strips from 6 inches to 20 inches long. .Each bag weighs between 1.4 and 1.6 ounces. 

For the square I saved all the ravelings.  The Yellow blotch in the middle was done with a small pile of ravelings.  The blue-green blotch in the upper right corner was also done with ravelings.  You can also make flowers from some of the 6 inch pieces.  Fringe one long side - often the color's will be different for the fringe.  Gather stitch along the other long edge and pull tight and secure. You can add a bead to the center of the flower.

In addition to these uses, these are also great fancy pieces to use for Doll Clothes. All pieces are either silk Dupioni or rayon/silk velvet.
